SFM6S061 Up for Auction

[Greg]

300-350 estimate by Mecum

Would love to see it but I highly doubt it will get anywhere near $300K.

[gt350hr]

    $220- 250 tops IMHO

[Greg]

I am going to revise mine to $180K :-) ......

Might as well throw my hat in to the ring.....I am recalling these results from memory, because I am having trouble logging in to Russo and Steele, but in 2015 at Russo and Steele, Monterey, 6S213 was auctioned off, and I believe that the hammer price was $295k.  In 2017, at RS Monterey, 6S250 sold for a hammer price of $300k.  Maybe someone here can log in and either confirm or disprove these results.  Either way, I am guessing that even with it's shortcomings, 6S061 will bring close to this money.

OK, apparently there is a pool going on here. Who's holding the money?

LOL... The difficult thing about this is it truly has nothing to do with what value we perceive the car to have.  It is based on the venue and what one feels the room will be like when it crosses the block. 

Thats why it is a "what will it bid too".....and not its value.  Want to throw your prediction into the ring?

OK. $295. There will be buyers in the room. They are smart enough to not venture into this discussion.

Your memory is very close.

6S213 hammered for $285,000 in 2015 at Russo & Steele. That would be $313,500 with the 10% buyer's fee added. It was represented to be the best concours GT350 in the world – a triple crown gold concours winner.

6S250 sold at Russo & Steele in 2017. The hammer price was $270,000. That would be $297,000 with fees. It was freshly restored to a high level, but not concours.

Those numbers may provide some guidance, but 6S061 does not appear directly comparable to either of those cars. And some time has passed since those sales - overall values may have gone up or down. Have fun guessing.

That was garbled. Did you say who gets the closet? What happens if it goes private before the auction? Is that in the pool? Let me check with London. Those guys bet on anything.

I doubt it will go private unless the owner is desperate to sell or a buyer is willing to pay the estimate. 

What we are looking for is who will guess the closest to the high bid... (Not what the car is worth).  This has as much or more to do with the auction (Remember... Kissimmee, FL. Mecum in Jan) and how good you are at predicting the room as it does the car.

Like most of you, I have seen poor cars bid high and excellent cars bid low.

[chris NOS]

I would go for 275 000...

The Mecum Kissimmee venue has been pretty strong for Shelby sales, but the 66 carry-over market is hard to peg. Assuming $165K as a base and adding a 35% premium for the carry-over I'll go $225K for this car.
